if your argument is that Windows is in stasis for several years then that's a terrible argument.

I already stated my argument, it wasn't that but you seem to not have one.
which is windows releases features slower, therefore it technically has X more years because they spaced out their innovations more than Apple.
like I said, terribly weak argument. anyways moving on.
That also wasn't my argument, hard to have a real discussion when your comments have been disingenuous.
I don’t know why you struggle to understand but the support structure I describe is not just about software update switch either. Hardware side of things also matter to some extent.
And yes, per your example, series 4 should not get offline maps if it cannot run it satisfactorily. Apple has been touting their care to customer all year around yet when action comes into play, they often fell short. People are angry that they can’t get 80% battery limit feature is because a “smart learning” feature is supported more than a seemingly simple “80% and stop” feature, which to most makes no sense. People would be less angry if Apple introduces 80% hard cutoff first, then the smart recharge feature. But they didn’t.
My argument sounds ridiculous to you, yet many people would likely agree with me since they value a usable device more than an unusable one overloaded with features they cannot use. It’s an old device for god sake and people has been conditioned to not expect a whole lot from newer software updates. Why punish them?
Oh umm by the way, lots of people on this forum would want Apple to focus on fixing bugs instead of shoving features without addressing bugs. So I am not alone.
Because you're not explaining yourself correctly. The points were so ambiguous. And now you're talking about hardware which makes things even more ambiguous as I'm talking about software updates.
"satisfactorily" is subjective. Apple thinks it can run it "satisfactorily" while you think it might not. And many customers will be unsatisfied if they did not get the new feature and blame Apple for planned obsolescence. So either way Apple can't win.
No they would agree with me in the sense that they will not be getting the feature they want and will feel like they're being forced to upgrade despite the hardware being able to run it. Maybe not to your "satisfactory" level but it would run it on their level. Again, it's subjective.
relatively off topic. that's a different discussion.
Ok I get it. Everything is subjective. Apple draws a line and customers cannot do anything about it.
As for my original argument, I have exhausted ways to make it even clearer. I give up. Let’s just part ways.
even the ultra 2 is not relevant in 2024 coz it has no AI. AI is even more important on watches then on phones coz of all the data. aapl needs to promise this in the near future or no one should buy it.

No. Apple makes the product and you vote with your wallet. That's how it has always been. 🤦♂️
You were making it less clear with every post actually.
Agreed. I'm moving on.
14?? You are waiting that long? That's actually kind of insane.
